The art of crafting with leather is one of the oldest skills in human history. Our ancestors have been working with this ancient material since before the earliest legends, and it has shaped us in a foundational, sacred way. Connect with your primal origins and learn how to carve, tool, sew, and burnish with detailed instruction. Let’s craft together around this online campfire, and remember our roots.

Throughout this 5 month course, I will teach you how to make your own leather talismans, tools, and everyday items. Using your new Tool Pack, outfitted with all of the tools you need, you will learn all of the basic leatherworking skills and craft your own pieces from my simple pre-cut leather Crafter’s Kits. 

Each lesson will be centered around a different Crafter’s Kit, so you will successfully end each class with a finished work of functional art. You will be adorning your pieces with Nordic bindrunes, surrounded by historical Celtic Knotwork, therefore protecting your work with runic magic and sacred knot symbolism. You will learn how to sew leather by hand, with a traditional saddle-stitch. You will even learn how to burnish the edges to achieve that slick, sealed finish. And more importantly, you will learn the absolute satisfaction of making an item from start to finish with your own hands.

All levels are welcome to join us in this virtual crafting circle. Bring to class your kit, your Tool Pack, and have on hand the following items: 

  • Cutting board or countertop (Stone is recommended)
  • Lighter
  • Scissors
  • Bowl of water
  • Soft towel
  • Flathead Screwdriver

Leather dyes or other coloring solutions are not included with these kits. If you would like your finished pieces to be a color other than the natural color of leather, please order leather dyes, paint, or markers from other sources.
